As a Facility Operations Manager, you will oversee preventive and corrective maintenance programs, coordinate internal teams and external contractors, and ensure that all facility-related services meet quality expectations. You will monitor the condition of physical assets, manage service requests, support space planning, and help create a productive, safe, and well-maintained environment for employees, visitors, and stakeholders. This position requires a proactive mindset, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to balance strategic planning with hands-on problem solving.

You will also support emergency preparedness, business continuity planning, and regulatory compliance across areas such as fire safety, environmental health, security, and occupational safety. Strong communication is essential, as you will work closely with leadership, department managers, maintenance staff, and third-party vendors to align facility operations with business needs.

Experience with building management systems, maintenance scheduling, inspections, and contractor oversight is highly valued. The role also involves responding to urgent facility issues, prioritizing repairs, and ensuring minimal disruption to business operations.
This is an excellent opportunity for a dependable and solutions-oriented professional who takes pride in maintaining high-performing facilities and delivering excellent service. If you are skilled in operations management, team coordination, compliance, and facility planning, and you enjoy working in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same, we encourage you to apply.
